Beginner Skiing in El Tarter ****

El Tarter has an award-winning English speaking ski school and many multi-lingual instructors so it is great for British holidaymakers wanting to learn to ski. The main area for beginners in El Tarter is called Riba Escorada but once you have grasped the basics there are plenty of more challenging slopes to move on too. El Tarter is particularly good value for beginner skiers as you can often book a heavily reduced rice lift pass, for those who have never skied before, if you also book ski rentals and lessons.
